2019 Riverside reviews

Worst camper ever! No where to sit except the dinette, uncomfortable. Bathroom sink is in the main area near the kitchen. Who wants to get ready essentially the kitchen? AC runs non stop, cannot hear the TV. The TV is as soon as you walk in the door, odd placement. And finally, our camper had a soft floor. Tracing the leal, it led to the exterior electrical box, it was not sealed. Water ran off the drip at the top, into the unsealed (oversized) hole under the cabinet and ran under the threshold. Taking the drawer out revealed the oversized hole, extremely large hole and the trash left from construction. Don't fall for the quality control, it is not there. Customer service is almost non existent. Show less

Everyone who sees this RV love the look of it. We thoroughly enjoy this Retro. It is easy to set up and pulls very easy behind our pickup especially with the dual axle. The bed sleeps very well with the added mattress cover and the refrigerator/freezer is almost as large as the one we have in our home. The microwave, oven and TV all work excellently. It is easy to heat and cool. Show less

We have owned our riverside retro since 2018. We had issues the first year but after having everything fixed under our warranty this trailer has proved to be a great one. It has been to Canada, through many of our National parks and to San Diego and back to Washington on a month long road trip! Yes we would recommend this one Show less

Update on review from last year. Once we had everything fixed we have had no complaints. We have camped through Covid and it has proved to be a very comfortable trailer with absolutely no problems. Beware of extended warranty as we still wonder if needed if it would ever cover the problems, lots of “exceptions”! We always get thumbs up and compliments on this trailer. Great size and never a problem getting into camp spots. Show less

The trailer is cute and well laid out. It has everything two people need to be comfortable on a long trip. We get compliments on the appearance and styling of it. Our Honda Ridgeline pulls it easily. That being said, the quality control is TERRIBLE. Staples falling out all over the place, sealant carelessly smeared on body seams with a finger. Water leaks appeared within the first year. A weld on the entry step broke in the first few months. Cheap materials, hastily assembled by seemingly untrained people. Despite the lovely interior and neat retro appearance, I wouldn't buy another product from Whitewater / Riverside. The lack of care with which it was assembled offends me. The dealer addressed all the issues, I fixed others and we continue to camp in it. We will keep it, but buyers should beware of Riverside RVs. They don't seem to care about the quality of the products they are building, I'm sorry to say. Show less

I bought a Retro 135 RV riverside TRAVEL TRAILER I like it thus far under 3000 pounds its great for 2 people but can sleep 4 its cool has the vintage style retro look and nice birch wood interior i really like its kind of small but has all the options of bigger travel trailers is a good trailer thus far Show less

We purchased our riverside retro August 2018. We have owned this now for 16 months. Our first camp out we had a major water leak in the shower, the air conditioner went out and the furnace had issues. Riverside took care of all the issues under warranty. Fourteen months later we have major concern as our water tank under our trailer is sagging due to the board and brackets being loose. Inside the bed frame now in not sitting flush on the floor with one side with a gap and in front of the bed screws are coming through the linoleum. Riverside is not covering this as the warranty is past twelve months even though we have an extended warranty for eight years. ( won’t cover structural). We are VERY disappointed and we are afraid as to what is next. We would not recommend buying this trailer, poor workmanship. Show less

Very cheaply made. There's no quality controll. I purchased a 2019 retro white water. i 6beleive was the 177 series. The first time i took a shower i found approximately 1/4 inch of water on the bathroom floor. A o ring was busted in the Drain. Which probably came like that from the factory. Since the trailer was new.I took it back to the dealer and traded it back in for a kodiak cub.( jury is still out on this one) I would avoid these ( RETROS) trailers at all cost!! I was told 90 percent of them leak when they come from the factory. Good Luck. Show less

As stated before, cute camper. Lots of storage but only one shock under bed and broken when we purchased new (I was adding them because I thought they weren't any so, oh well). Craftsmanship is a little cheaply done, but I'm coming from a Newmar since we are "downsizing ". Dealer says they are no longer making coverlet in our color. I wanted them for the bunks, it's a 2019 so sounds hinky but that's the luck I've had with Riverside customer service. Rudeness abounds. Not a good start since I know I will need more material for the dinette surround before long. Still a cute camper. Is it worth the money....maybe. if you like different and can live with the bad craftsmanship go for it. Had this for 1 month, a lot of DIY in my future. Show less
